Process
Standard HackerRank screen, 70 minutes. First round is a technical with one software engineer, second round is a technical/behavioral/OOP design with 2 software engineers and 2 EMs. Overall, it was quite easy.
Questions
First round -------- 2 questions that are easier as FizzBuzz, then you have to implement the board game Pente given some starter code.
Second round ------- Given a list of 2D points, return the set of all points that are collinear (3 or more points lie on a line). Goal is O(n^2) time and O(n) space. A robot has t moves and wants to escape a n * m matrix. He can only move in 4 directions, and can visit the same square twice. Return the amount of possible ways to escape the grid. Goal is O(n * m) time, O(n * m) space. OOPS design: Implement an in-memory model for software that tracks technical projects. There can be a QA, a PM, and some Devs for each project. Each project also has a list of Tasks. We want to be able to see all Tasks assigned to a User, what projects that User is assigned to, and their role in that project.

Fast-growing company with an amazing culture and coworkers!
Software Engineer • Current Employee
South Jordan, Utah
November 6, 2017
Pros: - Coworkers are hardworking, smart, dedicated, supportive, and fun!
- Good work/life balance. We care more about getting work done than making sure you're working from 9-5. I don't feel like I'm being worked to death just to make the company more money.
- Management (and the whole company as a result) cares about employees as individuals. This shows in the great work/life balance, in conversations I have with upper management (they talk to me about my personal life and family), and in the family-friendly company activities.
- Lots of great perks: awesome health care benefits, tons of free food, team & company-wide activities, company retreat, awesome office space, foosball, ping pong, bouldering wall, family events (trick or treating, summer party, movies, etc.), 3-day hackathon for engineers, conference participation & attendance, community service activities, supporting Women Tech Council, etc.
- There are lots of opportunities for growth, both as a company and as individuals within the company.
- Collaborative environment. My coworkers are smart, but not ego-centric. They are willing to help anyone and everyone succeed.
- Everyone has a large amount of ownership over the products and you can have a direct influence the direction of the company and your team.
- High values and morals. It is super important for me to feel comfortable with my company's ethics, and Lucid has never disappointed.
Cons: I'm sure there are some cons, but I can't think of any right now.
Oh, maybe the fact that we have pizza every Friday. Sometimes I get tired of pizza. But yah, that's not too important.

Cons: -Management is obsessed with meeting sprint requirements, even when they made mistakes in estimating difficulty
-The burden of their mistakes falls on the engineers, making for many stressful late nights & weekends trying to meet these arbitrary deadlines to avoid being fired or put on a “performance improvement plan”
